This is bad news.
I know Im quite some distance from where your at, but if you need a place to stay your more than welcome to stay here.
I can even more than likely hook you up with a job at like $10/11 Hr...

Thank you all. I already have a place to stay for as long as I need to. The best part is that my dad will have his job, so no loss of income. At least I am much closer to home than I was in texas. I still have my job too, plus they are giving me $500 because of all of this.
My cousins have been great to us here. We have plenty of food and a 4 bedroom house to live in. Living in the house is almost like camping; plenty of lawn furniture and sleeping bags. Smells like great dane too, but nothing arm and hammer couldn't fix. If we were to stay in a hotel, it would have cost us $3k per month plus food, gas, etc.
None of us were too happy to hear the news earlier, but it's all accepted now. I think I made out the best of my parents and me. My van is high and dry (I'm 90% sure) and my dad's truck has been submerged for about a week. All of my recording equipment, computers, and instruments are in my room on the second story. My mom lost all of our baby pictures and all, but I'm sure we can get many copies from relatives we hope.
The best part is that we get a new house out of it. I think at most we might get $140k from insurance. If we get 140k and only have to rip out the first floor, then we will be well off. After all, my dad needs a new truck too.

Glad to hear you and your family are doing well. Being able to stay somewhere for nothing is a definite plus too. Hope everything works out o.k. w/ the new house and whatnot.

Yea...the gov't was supposed to do a lot of things...like get the troops out of the middle east...but ppl are still dying over there...and we are trillions of dollars in debt. But if i remember correctly, didnt Clinton get us out of debt? Oh yes he did...thats right and Bush went and F@#%ed it all up.
Also, how long did he wait to go down to NOLA? Too long imho, but who am i to say whats right and whats wrong
